Clarion cx609a model. Locked out with incorrect security code but now have the correct code but cannot access radio to enter code

If you are unable to enter the radio code you already have for your 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT, there may be a few possible reasons and solutions:

1. Check if the radio is locked: Sometimes, a radio may have a security feature that locks it if incorrect codes are entered multiple times. If this is the case, you will have to leave the radio turned on for a certain period (usually between 30 minutes to a few hours) to reset the security lockout. Once the lockout period is over, you should be able to enter the code again.
2. Verify the radio code: Double-check that you have the correct radio code for your specific vehicle model. It's possible that there might be a mistake in the code you initially obtained.
3. Check if the radio code is compatible: In some cases, a radio may be replaced or swapped with a different model, which may require a different code. Ensure that the code you have is for the original factory-installed radio and not a replacement.
4. Seek professional assistance: If all else fails, it may be best to consult a professional car audio technician or visit a Mitsubishi dealership. They will have the necessary tools and expertise to diagnose and resolve any issues with the radio code entry process.

Keep in mind that different car models and radio systems may have slight variations in the process, so it's always a good idea to consult the vehicle's manual or contact an authorized dealer for specific instructions related to your 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT.

if entered to many times incorrect and is locked out - sometimes a 24hr wait and can try again or may need dealer or an authorized electronics shop to reset

Unfortunately you will need to visit a Nissan dealer to get it reset.

you have to keep the ignition on for two or more hours and it will then give you another three tries. the ignition must stay on all that time uninterrupted.

Main dealer will have radio code , Sometimes a blocked radio will accept one more code entry (after long wait ) . You will need the radio chassis number and possible the vehicle chassis numder (for security reasons) but without the code it's a dud sorry. Good luck

you need to wait 24hrs (radio swithed on)to see if you can re-enter the propper code if not a local i.c.e/radio shop should be able to bypass the code system.

hi friend,
If you have the security code it's easy. The code is something that either you or a previous owner entered. If you don't have the security code a trip to the dealer will be in your future.
Unlocking the Theft-Deterrent Feature After a Power Loss Enter the code as follows; pause no more than 15 seconds between steps.

1. Turn ON the ignition. LOC will appear on the display.
2. Press MN and 000 will appear on the display.
3. Press MN again to make the last two digits agree with your code.
4. Press HR to make the first one or two digits agree with your code.
5. Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the code matches the secret code you have written down. The display will show SEC, indicating the radio is now operable and secure.

Entering the incorrect code eight times will cause INOP to appear on the display. Wait an hour with the ignition in the ON position before you try again. When you try again, you will have three more chances (eight tries per chance) to enter the correct code before INOP appears.
Deactivating the Theft-Deterrent Feature Enter the code as follows; pause no more than 15 seconds between steps.

1. Turn the ignition to ACC or ON.
2. Turn OFF the radio.
3. Press the 1 and 4 buttons together. Hold them down until SEC shows on the display.
4. Press MN and 000 will appear on the display.
5. Press MN again to make the last two digits agree with your code.
6. Press HR to make the first one or two digits agree with your code.
7. Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the code matches the secret code you have written down. The display will show -- -- --, indicating that the radio is no longer secured.

Entering the incorrect code will cause SEC to appear on the display. The radio will remain secured until the correct code is entered. When battery power is removed and later applied to a secured radio, the radio will not turn on and LOC appears on the display. To unlock a secured radio, refer to "Unlocking the Theft-Deterrent Feature After a Power Loss".
